Domineering Daming

Zou Weilian looked at the withered fields with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "There is a 'study club' at the Royal Political Council, and each governor's yamen must recommend a person. I have already reported him, and the order will be completed within two days at most arrive."

The master was stunned, then smiled and said: "Your Excellency is wise! It will take at least half a year to go back and forth. When Master Liu comes back, the harvest will be almost ready."

Zou Weilian didn't speak, his brows were filled with worry, and he sighed softly in his heart.

He has been in Fujian for more than 30 years, worrying not only for Fujian, but also for Daming. The disasters that have been seen since the reign of Tianqi have continued to the present, and it has been more than ten years, and it still has not bottomed out. If this continues, the people will not survive, and the court will live even more. no.

Feeling a cool breeze, the master said: "My lord, it seems that the wind is going to blow up. I heard from some old fishermen that it may rain recently, so we should go back early."

Just as Zou Weilian was about to "hmm", suddenly his heart moved, and he said, "I remember, did a typhoon come at this time last year, and then it rained heavily?"

The chief secretary was also from Fujian, and he thought about it: "My lord said this, and the officials also remembered that there have been a lot of typhoons in the past few years. If it really rains heavily, it will be troublesome."

Zou Weilian's expression sank, and he said: "Go, go back, ask someone to ask more, if there is really heavy rain, we must harvest early!"

The master was startled, and said: "My lord, this is not yet fully mature, if this is cut..."

Zou Weilian had already strode forward and interrupted: "It's better than being flooded!"

The master book's heart sank, and he hurriedly followed. If this is the case, Fujian will be in big trouble.

Before Zou Weilian and the others entered the city, suddenly there were ping-pong-pong sounds all around.

The master opened the curtain, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "My lord, it's hail!"

Zou Weilian has already seen that when a disaster occurs, it will be accompanied by all kinds of rumors and disasters, but he has ignored these, and said directly: "Hurry up and go back to the governor's office and call everyone to discuss the matter!"

"Yes!" The chief book said in a panic.

He also understood that the harvest had to be done ahead of time, and the hailstorm came at such an inopportune time!

Zhu Xu and the others had just finished their meal and were about to go out for a stroll, but they also encountered hailstones and were thrown back.

Standing under the eaves, Zhu Xu looked up. These hailstones were not small. The big ones were as big as a baby's fist, and the small ones were as big as an index finger. It's no joke to hit people.The tiles on the opposite roof were smashed and clanged, and many of them fell directly and broke into pieces.

Standing beside Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun said in surprise, "Hail is common in the north, but I didn't expect it to happen in the south as well."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

In recent years, the weather has become more and more strange, which cannot be deduced by common sense.Moreover, this is undoubtedly bad news for Daming. The natural disaster is entering the most intense period of time, and this is just the beginning.

"I can't go out today, let's play chess for a while, just put it at the door." Zhu Xu said.He looked at the empty eaves, and he missed the days in Jinghuan Palace, making tea, playing chess and eating snacks, that was his happiest and most relaxing period of time.

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and prepared to enter the door.

Not long after Zhu Xu entered Min, Cao Wenzhao, who had been traveling day and night for more than ten days, finally stopped at a small island not far from Shuli.

Shangfeng Wang Shangfeng and the Prime Minister Shanglian are already waiting, bringing a lot of food and fresh water.

In the temporary small house on the island, Cao Wenzhao and others listened to King Shangfeng and Shang Lian explain everything about Ryukyu and Satsuma, especially the previous war, in detail.

Cao Wenzhao, Lai Daosheng, Liu Wentian and the others were stunned, and finally ignored Shangfeng and Shanglian, and looked at each other with astonishment.

Ryukyu can be said to be a very peculiar country, with almost no military equipment. Even in the capital, there are only more than 1000 "pro-army" to maintain law and order. The other islands are similar. That is to say, the entire Ryukyu Kingdom has no regular army!

This is not important, Satsuma is actually not a country in the strict sense, but a feudal town, which is extremely complicated and there are not many regular troops!

The last time the Satsuma clan invaded Ryukyu, it was a "rabble crowd". The Shimadzu family of the Satsuma clan lord, the lord, father, nephew, etc., had less than 2000 subordinates, and then each subordinate, 50 people, 80 people, There were no more than 130 people at most, and more than 300 pirates were recruited as guides. In this way, an "army of three thousand" was gathered, and they took more than 100 ships to attack some large islands in the north of Ryukyu.

These islands are basically "defenseless", and they will be defeated in one blow. Several large islands in the north of Ryukyu quickly fell. , the Satsuma domain invaded Shuri, kidnapped dozens of Shangfeng, the current king of Shangfeng, and forced Ryukyu to pay enough ransom before releasing them.

But the Satsuma clan was dissatisfied and demanded that Ryukyu "return" the military expenses owed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for his invasion of North Korea, otherwise he would send troops again.In fact, Ryukyu has never been a "vassal" of the Wa Kingdom, and there is no "accumulation of debts". It is just an excuse for the Satsuma clan to force Ryukyu to bow its head completely.

In fact, King Shangfeng was ready to bow his head to the Japanese kingdom. It can be seen that he saw the powerful military power of the Ming Dynasty, and his heart was alive. He wanted to use the military power of the Ming Dynasty to eradicate the threat of Satsuma and keep the Ryukyu throne!

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao and others looked at each other without saying a word, Shang Feng and Shang Lian showed no "guilty look", Shang Lian leaned slightly, and said: "General Cao is a general of the Celestial Dynasty, and he is carrying elite troops. It can help our country get rid of the Satsuma pirates and keep Ryukyu safe! Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, Shang Lian knelt down and faced north, in a prostrate state.

Although it was only a short period of time, Cao Wenzhao also noticed that these two people were very cunning and had other ideas in mind.

But these Cao Wenzhao didn't care at all, it was nothing more than cannons opening the way!

He, Liu Wentian, and Lai Daosheng looked at each other, and then said to Shang Feng: "To tell you the truth, I will bring [-] elites and [-] cannons this time, which is enough to destroy the Satsuma clan! But it is too troublesome to fight there. , so I will wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Shang Feng opened his eyes, and said very sincerely: "I also ask the general for advice."

Cao Wenzhao squinted his eyes, kept his tone still, and said murderously: "It's simple, let the Satsuma clan come to Shuri again! The prince will immediately organize the army. The more troops the better, if there are three thousand, let's say ten thousand, and if there are ten thousand, it will be ten thousand." Say [-], in short, to attract the main force of the Satsuma domain, our army ambushed at their landing place, annihilated them in one fell swoop, and then quickly helped Ryukyu regain the lost ground, and then waited for my army to gather and approach Kagoshima to completely solve the threat of Ryukyu !"

Shang Feng had seen the military power of the Ming Dynasty, so he was convinced of it, and he was very moved, but he frowned immediately, and said hesitantly: "The method is good, but there are pirates in Ryukyu and its surrounding areas, and these people are probably Satsuma clan The eyeliner, once the army of the Celestial Dynasty appears, it will inevitably let the Satsuma clan find out..."

"Not even at night?" Lai Daosheng asked doubtfully.

Shangfeng Wang said: "No."

Cao Wenzhao's expression remained unchanged, but he shook his head secretly. This prince is really a waste king, and he doesn't even have such control in his own country.

Liu Wentian moved his eyes slightly, and said: "It's easy to handle. When the prince returns, he will say that there are pirates nearby to prevent people from approaching. Then we can pretend to be pirates or official ships and sneak in quietly. It's far away at sea, and they don't Telescope, definitely can't check carefully."

"This method is good!" Shang Lian said: "Just do it like this!"

Cao Wenzhao looked at King Shangfeng with his chest up, and said: "My lord, I will leave the rest to you. I will only be responsible for destroying the Satsuma clan. I will not ask about anything else. Please prepare the food and warships that you should have." !"

At this time, Shang Feng also mustered up his courage, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, General, Xiao Wang will go back and prepare. He must prepare it for the General in the shortest possible time!"

Cao Wenzhao and others nodded and sent Shangfeng away.

Shang Feng went out of the house, looked at the black cannons moored at sea again, took a deep breath, and strode away.

Lai Daosheng stood on the rocks on the shore, looked at King Shangfeng and others who were drifting away, turned his head to Cao Wenzhao and said, "My lord, is Shangfeng reliable? Why do I feel a little uneasy?"

Liu Wentian sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you are reliable or not? We are here to take over Ryukyu, and by the way, we will teach Wa Kingdom a lesson. If he is reliable, he will not be of great help, and if he is not reliable, nothing will be damaged!"

Lai Daosheng heard Liu Wentian's arrogant words, but he didn't refute. He laughed loudly and said, "What you said is, well, I'll leave the Amami to you, and I won't snatch it from you!"

Liu Wentian's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Damn! Dayu is mine, and everything else is yours!"

Osumi is close to Kagoshima, whoever attacks Osumi can directly attack the Satsuma Domain and seize the top spot!

Chapter 715 Unbearable

Shang Feng and Shang Lian took the boat and soon returned to Shuri, the palace.

The two hid in the secret room and discussed carefully.

"My lord, there are three things we have to do now. First, continue to delay with the people of the Satsuma clan. Second, secretly raise troops in case of unexpected events. Third, cooperate with the army of the Ming Dynasty to lure the Satsuma clan to come! "Shang Lian said excitedly.It was beyond his expectation that the Ming Dynasty could really send troops, but since it is here, it must be used well.While driving away the Satsuma clan, keep the Shang family's throne forever!

Shang Feng leaned forward at this moment, his eyes flickered, and said: "This king naturally knows, but I am a little worried."
